For the construction of the Island of Flames, Liszt only needs to manage one general direction - such as building more roads and paying attention to hygiene.

It is his followers who really preside over the development and construction.

And he is responsible for shouting in the back.

"A road needs to be built here, as soon as possible!"

"The Golden Dragon Valley should be mined immediately, and the priority should be at the forefront. The construction of Ryugu City must also be on the agenda, and I need to see you guys busy!"

"Consultant Galtai, the plantation must be in full swing and preparations for the transplantation of rubber trees must begin quickly. The first thing you did when you came to Flame Island was to preside over the development of the plantation, transfer all the elven cordyceps from Dark Horse Island and Hot Spring Island to Flame City, and take care of the native elves of Flame Island. ”

"President Chrissy, hasn't the cultivation of the Crystal Alder been completed yet, the efficiency of the Magic Guild is too low, I hope you will immediately rectify the research topics of the Association, and pull Lars, a group of great magicians who are almost dizzy from studying natural magic, to topics that are beneficial to the territory!"

"Captain Durt, the operation to recruit the Moon Killer can be continued, and don't forget to trace the whereabouts of the statues, there are three statues whose hands have not been found. ”

The leader moves his mouth, and the subordinate breaks his leg.

This is basically the current situation of the development of the Fire Island.

However, under the temptation of war exploits, no one complained, on the contrary, all the immigrants of the Flame Realm were all busy with enthusiasm, and it was too easy to obtain war merits - compared to risking death on the battlefield to get battles, here as long as you do engineering, draw maps, and recruit and kill moon people, you will have war merits.

For a knight, it was not as dangerous as hunting in the forest.

Using interests to guide is far more likely to arouse the enthusiasm of followers and leaders than to oppress with strength, which is a truth that Liszt understood very early.

His subordinates worked hard, and he had free time.

Allocate time to cultivate with the four-headed dragon, cultivate a relationship with the man-eating tree dragon spirit Kali, and then destroy some powerful magical beasts by the way.

It's mid-May.

News came from Dark Horse Island that the negotiation team of the Eagle Kingdom had arrived.

"Father, you can preside over this negotiation on my behalf. "Liszt went straight to Tulip Island, which was being developed, and found the Marquis of Oxo.

He is a dragon knight and the future king of the Flame Kingdom, so he is naturally not suitable to go to the negotiating table in person.

William Li did not hesitate: "Okay!"

Then.

He rode the dragon for the second time, again riding the Grey Iron Dragon. Liszt now likes to ride a 60-metre wingspan, long-grown grey-mouthed dragon that looks a little more domineering. Similarly, the fire dragon Leo possessed, the invisible dragon Bad followed, and the light emerald dragon stayed.

Passing through the Xinlu Teleportation Array, and then galloping, he came to Dark Horse Island.

On the way, the father and son have already determined the bottom line of the negotiation, and Liszt only needs to show up, entertain the negotiation team with a dinner, and then he can stay behind the scenes and wait for the results of the negotiation.

The negotiation team of the Eagle Kingdom is headed by a marquis from the royal family, Alexander Moonsilver, and the deputy head is the foreign minister of the Duchy of Gray Iron and a marquis from the Gray Iron family, Pirlo Gray Iron.

At the time of the dinner.

Duke Piero, who had spent more than a month as a captive, was also placed between the seats, and he could even participate in the negotiations himself - after all, he was still the duke of the Duchy of Gray Iron, although he would almost be knocked out of power by his family and ministers when he returned home.

Losing the dragon is such a sin, and the king of a country cannot afford it.

"Pirlo, what's the situation at home. Duke Piero asked hopefully, the Eagle Kingdom had finally sent someone to negotiate, and he would soon be free.

Pirlo looked at the former lord.

The life as a captive did not make him haggard and gloomy, on the contrary, Duke Piero's face was ruddy. The food was very good during this time on Dark Horse Island, originally he thought that he would know how to eat and tea, but who knew that he would fall in love with the food here, and he had to eat a lot of food every day - except for potions and monster meat.

"Your Excellency. Pirlo used an unfamiliar title, which used to be "His Highness".

Duke Piero's face suddenly turned cold, and his heart was also cold, and a bad feeling quickly rose in his heart: "Pirlo, what's the matter?"

The atmosphere of the banquet was not lively, only the Marquis William Li and the Marquis Alexander, there was a conversation without a word.

Pirlo replied in a low voice: "We will try our best to redeem you, but please also ask the Duke to respect yourself, and today, the Gray Iron Family can no longer bear greater losses...... This negotiation was dominated by the Marquis of Alexander, you know. ”

"What do you mean!" Marquis Piero's face turned red instantly, and his voice unconsciously became louder, attracting the attention of everyone at the banquet.

However, it soon returned to normal, and the conversation continued, as if he had not seen the quarrel between Piero and Pirlo.

Pirlo coughed, a little embarrassed: "This is the family's decision, please don't blame me." You have caused the current situation because of the war of the royal family, and the Marquis of Alexander will take full authority to deal with it on behalf of the royal family, hoping that the Duke will not act in an embarrassing manner. ”

Duke Piero was about to get angry, but when his anger came up, he never got out.

After holding back for a moment to make his face flush purple, he suddenly deflated, and for a moment the whole person seemed to be a teenager - he already understood his current situation.

The family and the royal family have betrayed him!

And the next day's negotiation table, this was also verified. Alexandria, Pirlo bargained with William Lee, completely ignoring his opinion and treating him like a ball of air.

"Why!"

"Why!"

"I'm fighting for the Eagle Kingdom, and the responsibility for losing the dragon is not on me, why should you betray me!"

"My wife, and my good son, Pitford...... And the high-flying Adunis Moonsilver, you also betrayed me, and threw me aside when you used it?"

Duke Piero sat on the edge of the negotiating table, feeling complicated and angry to the extreme.

He thought that the family would do their best to redeem themselves, even if they lost the dragon, they would be able to make a comeback and regain their glory. However, at this moment, all faith has collapsed, and his once most favored son, and the once most trusted king, and even relatives and friends, have abandoned him.

"You have betrayed me, you have betrayed me!" the Duke of Piero cried out silently, his eyes red.

It's just that no one cares about his self-pity, and everyone is busy arguing about the amount of ransom.

Marquis Ushio took the initiative and was unwilling to back down at all: "On behalf of Liszt Flame, the king of the Flame Kingdom, I repeat our bottom line again!"

The voice was not loud, but it was very calm: "First, it is not limited to the Gray Iron Family or the Eagle Royal Family, a dragon spirit that is no more than two hundred years old, and it must be a grain and potion dragon spirit; second, 400,000 serfs and 30,000 craftsmen, the age distribution must be reasonable; third, there are a number of jade, potions, metals, gems, armor and weapons resources. If the above three conditions are met, the freedom of the Duke of Piero will be returned directly. ”

Alexander argued loudly: "Marquis William Lee, you are a blatant robbery!"

William Li smiled slightly: "You can also understand it like this." ”

"You!"

"Oh yes. ”

William Li picked up the green tea on the table and took a sip gently: "King Liszt also explained that the Gray Iron family is no longer worthy of the noble surname of 'Gray Iron', and the surname must be changed immediately. This is not a ransom, but a mandatory order from the Flame King, and if the Grey Iron Family is unwilling to change it, there is no need for it to exist. ”
